"Kikyou-chan, do you want to stop by the cafe on your way home?"
"un, All right, Ah, but wait a minute, I'll take one more person."
After inviting one of her female friends, Kushida walks towards Horikita who is putting a book in her bag.
"Horikita-san, I go to the cafe with my friend if you want, do you want
joining?"
"I'm not interested."
Horikita quickly slashed at Kushida's invitation with a few words.
Can't you lie that you're planning on shopping or meeting
with someone else? Horikita frankly rejected his invitation. However, Kushida still
smilingly.
This scene is nothing new. Since the entrance ceremony, Kushida has been
periodically try to invite Horikita. I think it'll be fine
for Horikita to accept once in a while, but it might be a point of view from
a spectator. Even so, no one has been able to bring Horikita success.
"Isaac ... Well, I'll invite you next time."
"Wait a minute, Kushida-san."
For some reason, Horikita called Kushida. Is it possible that he will respond to Kushida's invitation?
"Please don't invite me again, this is troublesome."
He said in a cold tone.
However, Kushida was unaffected and continued to smile.
"I'll invite you next time."
Kushida ran back to his friends, and they came out of the hall.
"Kikyou-chan, please stop inviting Horikita-san, I hate her-" When the door closed, the girl's voice could be faintly heard.
Those words were supposed to be heard by Horikita nearby, but there was no indication
that he heard it.
"You don't say unnecessary things like that, do you?"
"Yes, I understand you're pretty good, it's no use."
"That's great."
Horikita, who finished packing, walked out of the classroom at her own pace.
I was a little dazed around class for some time, but I got bored and got up
from my seat. Time home.
"Ayanokouji-kun, do you have time?"
I walked over to Hirata, who was still at school. In a small voice, I replied
Hirate. It was strange to see Hirata talking to someone first.
"It's about Horikita. I wonder if something is wrong. Those girls
talk about it early, he's always alone until the end."
Rejecting Kushida's invitation, she was always alone.
"Can't you tell him to hang out with the others again?"
"Isn't that for the guy himself? Also, he doesn't bother anyone else."
"Of course I understand, but there are also others who are worried. I don't want to
there's a problem about bullying that pops up in class."
The bullying? He spoke to me suddenly, but with those words, he said,
sounds like a bad sign. So did you warn me?
Hirata looked at me with pure intention.
"I think it's better if you tell him directly, than to say it
through me."
"... Yeah, I guess, sorry for saying something weird."
Horikita is alone every day. If that continues, in a month, he might
it will be a grade tumor.
However, since this is Horikita's personal matter, it is not something that I
must engage.
After leaving school, I headed straight to the dormitory. Kushida is gone
early with a friend, was waiting for someone while leaning in
wall. Looking at me, he looked at me with a smile on his face.
"That's great, I'm waiting for Ayanokouji-kun, there's something I want to talk about,
do you have time?"
"Yes, I have no other job ..."
There is a possibility, is it a confession ...? No, there's a possibility 1
percent of that incident.
smile just once?"
"Eh? No. .. I don't remember."
Looks like Kushida approached me to talk about Horikita. Also, as I recall, I had never seen Horikita smile.
Clutching my hand, he closed the gap between us. Does it smell like flowers?
A pleasant smell entered my nose.
"You know. I want to be friends with Horikita-san."
"Your feelings reached him. At first, many people tried to talk
with him, but now you're all that's left."
"Ayanokouji-kun, you seem to know Horikita-san quite well."
"Of course you get to know someone who sits next to you every day."
Girls, they are eager to make a group from the first day of school.
They are even more aware of factions and groups than men, and
about 4 people holding all ‘power’ among 20 people. Those girls
they say they know a lot of people.
However, the only exception to this rule is Kushida. All
the group had many people, but only Kushida became popular
large-scale. Without ever giving up, he kept trying to make friends with
Horikita's. This was not something ordinary students would do.
Maybe that's why he's popular.
And also, she's cute. After all, cuteness correlates with popularity.
"Aren't you rejected by Horikita? I didn't think anything you said to her would make her understand."
I know that he is not the type to imitate his words. If you speak
with him carelessly, he would probably pour insults on you.
Honestly, I don't want to see Kushida get hurt.
"Will you.... help me?"
"Well…"
I didn't reply immediately. Normally, if I was asked to help by a cute girl, I would agree without hesitation. But, because I like it
avoiding trouble, I can't answer yes right away. That's because I don't
wanted to see Horikita verbally hurt Kushida. I will reject it with
gentler.
"I understand how you feel, but ..."
"Is that not good ...?"
Request + cute + eyes plead \= fatal.
"... Well, that can't help. Just this time, okay?"
Ayanokouji-kun, thank you!"
After I agreed to help her, Kushida smiled happily on her face.
… Cute. Since I said that I would help, I couldn't be
rashes and does something crazy.
"So, what exactly are we doing? Even if you say you want to
befriend him, it's not that simple."
For someone like me who has no friends, this is a difficult matter
which I cannot answer easily.
"Hm ... The first step was to make Horikita smile."
"Make her smile, yeah."
Making a smile requires the right mood and atmosphere for us to be successful.
Such a relationship can be called
"friendship".
Luckily, Kushida seems to know how to make people smile.
"Do you have any idea how to make her smile?"
"Um .. I think we can think about it together."
Apologizing to "Teehee", he lightly patted her on the head.
If it was an ugly woman, I would have hit her immediately, but that's okay because
it was Kushida.
"Smiling…"
Somehow, because Kushida asked me to help, my goal now is to make Horikita smile. Is that goal possible? Terribly
unquestioned.
"After school, however, I will try to invite Horikita.
When I get back to the dorm, I probably won't have any arms or legs
what remains. Is there a place I should invite him to?"
seriate....
